🌿 My Story

If you’re struggling right now, I want you to know — I’ve been there too.

In this photo, I’m smiling… but at the time, I didn’t feel great on the inside. I was in my midlife, juggling a demanding military career and a busy family while trying to find a moment — any moment — to take care of myself. I felt pulled in every direction until my body started sending signals that something had to change.

My check engine light came on.

After multiple doctor visits, I learned that stress, anxiety, autoimmune issues, and perimenopause were all part of the picture. It was during COVID that I finally stopped, reflected, and decided to take my own health seriously — not just to get by, but to truly thrive.

That decision changed everything.

Four years, a diploma, and several certifications later, I’m still on my own healing journey — but I laugh more, feel lighter, and finally have the energy and vitality I was missing. Now, my mission is to help other women do the same.

You’ve spent years showing up for everyone else — now it’s your turn.

After 25 years leading teams in the Royal Canadian Air Force, I’ve learned that true strength isn’t just physical — it’s mental, emotional, and built on consistency, compassion, and purpose.

At Aging Well Coaching, I combine science, structure, and empathy to help women navigate perimenopause, menopause, and midlife with confidence. My approach is grounded in evidence-based training and a deep understanding of how to help build successful habits for lasting behaviour change to support a healthier lifestyle.
